The rates go up, then up and down
- Wellington Scoop
- The Wellington City Council yesterday announced an add-on to next year’s budget – an extra $120,000 “to improve community emergency preparedness.” In the same announcement, we’re told that the average rates increase is going up to 4.4 per cent from the previously announced 4.3 per cent. Curiously, the council also tells us that rates increases for homeowners and commercial property owners will be coming down.

Time for homeowners to speak up loudly about the rates burden, urges councilor
- Wellington Scoop
- With the Wellington City Council’s Funding, Activities and Revenue working party finishing its deliberations, the prospect of homeowners being asked to shoulder the rates burden again is almost a foregone conclusion. That will mean another zero rates increase to the owners of commercial buildings and another seven percent increase for home owners.
